Speaking of the cat ...

[apocalypsos]

"Cone of Shame? What Cone of Shame?"

What you can't see from that angle is that on the rear of that shaved leg is an enormous nearly-closed scab the size of a half-dollar. They left it open when they took the tube out just in case there was more fluid in there, but it's healed up most of the way this weekend and should be completely closed by tomorrow. (In the meantime, it's loose skin there and so you can still see muscle through the hole. EW EW EWWWWWW.)

He still has to wear the cone until he goes back to the vet later this week for another check on it, but he doesn't really seem to give a shit, as you can see.

Also, he finally figured out how to walk with his front legs shaved. Now, THAT, he did seem to give a shit about. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY LEGS OH MY BASTET I TOTALLY NEED TO GOOSESTEP LIKE A NAZI FOR DAYS ON END AHHHHHHHHH." It makes him look like a Sphinx cat wearing a woodchuck costume with the sleeves missing.
